Hoyt admits problem ready to rejoin Padres
United Press International
Three veteran pitchers — each vital to their teams' pennant hopes this season — provided positive news yesterday.
At Yuma, Ariz., LaMarr Hoyt, San Diego's ace, said he was recovering from a drinking problem and would report to the Padres' camp today.
Hoyt, a 31-year-old right-hander,
will spend the first two to three weeks of
the regular season getting into
shape before rejoining the rotation.
In a statement released by the team, Hoyt said he was unaware of how serious his problems were when he began the rehabilitation center Feb. 28.
"I did so hesitantly and without fully understanding the scope of my dependence problem," Hoyt said. "During the intervening weeks, I

underwent an intense program directed at helping an individual to attain and maintain complete abstinence from mood-altering chemicals, including primarily alcohol."
At St. Petersburg, Fla., 36-year-old Bob Forsch, whom the Cardinals expect to help fill the void created by the trade of Joaquin Andujar, combined with Todd Worrell and Ken Dayley on a five-hitter to help St. Louis beat Toronto 3-0.
Forsch, who probably will start the regular season's third game, allowed three hits and walked none over five innings. A nine-game winner last year, the right-hander has yielded just three earned runs in 15 spring innings.
At West Palm Beach, Fla., Nolan Ryan, whose poor finish last season raised questions about the 39-year-old right hander, fire fastballs for 3.937 major-league innings and hurled five strong innings to lead Houston to a 4-2 victory over Montreal.
Ryan struck out six and allowed two hits, including a two-run homer by Vance Law, who is 17-for-38 (.447) with two homers and a team-leading nine RBIs.
Several other veteran pitchers also had strong outings yesterday.
At Miami, Dennis Martinez scattered four hits over five innings and Baltimore scored all their runs in the fourth inning to defeat Atlanta 6-3. Martinez, making his third start of the spring, allowed one run.
At Vero Beach, Fla. Fernande
Valenuela bitched seven shutout in-
t
nings to pace Los Angeles to a 5-2 decision over Minnesota. Valenzuela, a veteran left-hander, yielded four hits, walked none and struck out six. Light-hitting Dave Anderson, fighting for a roster spot, smacked a three-run home for the Dodgers off starter John Butcher.
At Winter Haven, Fla., Rick Rhoden became the first Pittsburgh pitcher to go more than five innings this spring and Mike Diaz hit a solo homer to lead the Pirates to a 5-2 victory over Boston. Rhoden scattered five hits and struck out three in 6% innings. Bruce Hurst took the loss.
There was bad news for two veteran pitchers.
At Tampa, Fla., Dave Engle smashed a two-run-homer off Bill Gullickson to highlight a three-run fourth inning that paced Detroit to an 8-4 victory over a Cincinnati split-squid. Gullickson, acquired by the Reds from Montreal to bolster the staff with a veteran, yielded eight hits and five runs in five innings as his exhibition record slipped to 0-2. Nick Esasky homered twice and drove in all four Reds runs.
At Pompano Beach, Fla., Burt Hooton was given his unconditional release by Texas, which said it would allow him to play in a cookie picker in the starting rotation.
Hooton, 36, has a 151-136 career record. He was signed by the Rangers as a free agent before last season when he went 8-5 with a 5.23 ERA. This spring, he was 1-0 with a 4.91 ERA.
"I gave it my best shot this spring — as good as I can give it now," Hooton said. "I don't know anything else." When the sun was out all winter, I worked hard this spring.
"In the past, that kind of work paid off. I guess the writing's on the wall when that doesn't do it."
At Clearwater, Fla., Paul O'Neill smashed a three-run, seventh-inning homer to give a Cincinnati split squad a 5-3 decision over Philadelphia. Juan Samuel blasted a two-run homer for Philadelphia.
Charles Hudson went the first five innings for the Phillies, scattering four hits and striking out one. He had given up 14 runs in 12 previous innings.
At Pomano Beach, Fla., a three-run homer by Curtis Wilkerson and solo blasts by Tom Paciorek and Steve Buechele carried the Rangers to a 5-4 victory over the Yankees. All three runs came off starter and loser Dennis Rasmussen. Dave Winfield went 3-for-4 and homered for New York.
The Kansas baseball team, plagued this season by costly defensive lapses in the late innings, must overcome those lapses in time for its Big Eight conference opener tomorrow against Iowa State at Ames, head coach Marty Pattin said yesterday.
Javhawks need to erase mistakes in field
By Jim Suhr Sports writer
Pattin said Kansas, which plays double-hangers against Iowa State both tomorrow and Sunday, would find success against Iowa State, 10.9, and other teams in the conference if it concentrated on defense.
"We've had a good overall attitude," he said. "But we need to get more intense in a game and concentrate on what we're doing. We try to keep their heads in the
Pattin said he was not satisfied with his team's 13-14 record heading into the conference opener. The Jayhawks have lost four or five games in the late innings because of what he called silly errors.

"We're hitting the ball great and scoring runs," he said. "The only thing that's holding us back now is our defense. I just hope we can get the mistakes out of our system."
ball game. That's the kev."
In response to the error problem, Pattin has shuffled his defensive lineup recently in search of a winning combination. He did so Tuesday in Kansas' double
He first shuffled his lineup last Saturday in a double-header against visiting Kansas Newman. He rearranged his lineup after Kansas made six errors in a 10-0 loss. The Jayhawks won the second game, 9-4, despite four more errors.
header split with visiting School of the Ozarks
After 11 walks by two Kansas pitchers and two errors in an 8-7 loss in the first game, Pattin gave his team a between-games pep talk and made some defensive changes.
He sent left fielder John Hart to center field to replace Hugh Stanfield Stanfield became the greatest hitter in the second game.
Darrel Matthews, a catcher, filled the vacancy left by Hart in left field. Jarrett Boesen replaced Joe Pfister as catcher, and Jon Pattin replaced first baseman John Byrn.
Kansas defense and offense,
Pattin said, must gel in time for
Iowa State and other conference
teams.
Pattin's philoophy, a strong defense creates things on offense, was true in the second game. Kansas had nine hits, including two home runs, and John Quinn pitched a complete game to lead the Jayhawks to a 7-2 win.

"I'm just a firm believer that if kids play hard, be aggressive and execute, winning will take care of itself," Pattin said.

People often think they're driving better than ever-when in fact, they're not! In Kansas, "driving while intoxicated" is legally defined as a blood alcohol level of .10%. Even professional drivers were worse drivers when their blood alcohol level was as low as .03% to .05%.
